Barley Namak Pare

Namak pare is a famous Indian snack prepared during the festivals, i prepared my savoury bites with homemade barley flour,wheat flour,all purpose flour with ajwain seeds as spicy version. Namak pare, these savoury bites are quite popular in North India eventhough we south Indians prepare them both savoury and sweet version.These savoury bites gets ready in jiffy and they were absolutely addictive, my version of namak pare turned out extremely crispy and we couldnt stop munching.

An excellent evening snack, barley flour in this namak pare didnt changed the texture or taste of this crisps.Honestly until you wont say that these savoury bites are prepared with barley and whole wheat flour,none will notice it.You can cut them as diamond cut or as squares but i simply went for rectangular shaped biscuits as my lil one wanted as though. Make this quick savoury bites anytime and they will stay prefect more than a week if they are conserved in air tight containers.Sending to my own event CWS-Barley guest hosted by Roshni.
